    Sorry ILM should be Lucas Film. DUH

    Remember Pixar was a part of Lucas Films, and they now are for all intents and purposes Disney's animation group. I'm just saying this could be a good thing. Hell it's not like they can shit on the brand anymore then Lucas did with the Phantom Menace.

    Have to agree, I just upgraded my girlfriends laptop for WoW, I got her an Inspiron 15r Special Edition (the one with dedicated graphics). You really do save your self a lot of hassle getting something that will actually run the game. At $800 with windows installed it really is not that expensive.

    2nd you obviously have little experience with windows 7 as " a quick re-install over the top" ( I am guessing you are talking about XP's repair install ) is not an option on Windows 7. Hell it will be a computer for gaming and thats it Let it get messed up and reinstall when needed.

    A thirty day subscription is $15 + a one time fee of $50 for the license and on average another $50 for the expansion packs. (granted most are now included in the original license but I don't believe the latest one is.)

    BS They always produce change for a time. The French are certainly far better off then under the monarchy, and are you saying we would be better off still being a British colony?
    Our problem is we let them top listening to us. There is an easy and peaceful fix that We the People can do. Remove incumbents and impose term limits whether they enact a law or not. It is the only power we retain. But if we stop the existence of career politicians we stop the lasting effects of corruption and greed, whether for power or money. We also offer a chance for Congress members to actually vote their belief's instead of a national party's directive. Removing the Party's overwhelming influence may also blunt the effect of superpacs.

    And he was lambasted by both parties for his statement, the humiliation was so great both mayors had to back track their statements post haste. No harm was done as the system worked and they corrected their stance before any damage was really done. In fact the only ones who were damaged were the mayors. Why, when you bring this subject up, do you fail to mention that part, you know the part where both parties came down on them for the obvious 1st amendment issue. You guys always fail to mention that this was 2 people not the Democratic Party. But hey lies happen all the time in politics so you guys must feel the need to jump on the bandwagon.

    To say the PC Game industry hasn't been damaged by piracy is disingenuous. The fact that far fewer games are produced, that fringe genres are not even developed anymore, and that we have had to deal with more draconian copy protection schemes are all a result of the ease of piracy on an open platform like a general purpose computer.
